These 2 are stupid.

CSS that sets fixed-size fonts dimensioned in pixels
This is the idiot web designer's favorite way to make a site unreadable on a monitor with a finer dot pitch than the one he/she happened to use. Guess what happens when you set a 10 or 11px font on a 72dpi monitor and it gets viewed on a 120dpi monitor? That's right, instant eyestrain and another user cursing your name. This problem is going to get worse as displays get larger and finer-grained.

CSS that changes the hotlink colors
Isn't it fun when you surf to a page and your eyes stall out trying to figure out which piece of text are hotlinks? That underlined blue and purple are valuable navigational cues in the Web jungle; this is another case where overriding the browser's settings should be punishable by intimate acquaintance with a flensing knife.

We need CSS for a little style :cool:

So cut the css and juventuz.com is the perfect website :D

Except this:
"Best viewed with..."

"The site has been tested on various browsers, but behaves best when viewed in the latest version of Internet Explorer, alternatively Opera for other platforms. Netscape (version 6+) is quite compatible as well, but not recommended as some things may not work correctly in this browser."

:D
 

Buy on AliExpress.com

    Yeah that's ancient. I've been thinking of changing that but I have to hack the css to make sure it matches the description. :D


    Kalle, that thing is great :D
